Salted Peanut Butter Energy Balls

Jayne Rodgers — Mon, 10 Jul 2017 13:03:05 +0000

These Salted Peanut Butter Energy Balls taste like they’ve been sent from heaven after a long run. The sodium and other minerals we lose during exercise need to be replaced and what better way than with the sea salt energy balls as delicious as these? Bibi rather surprised me singing about chocolate salty balls when...

How To Run Your Best 10K

Jayne Rodgers — Mon, 18 Jul 2016 06:55:37 +0000

How to run your best 10k is all relative, of course. Some runners will be looking just to cross the finish line, others to improve their speed and others still simply to have a good time and enjoy the atmosphere. Whatever your motivation for wanting to run your best 10k, there are certain things that...

Chocolate Orange Popcorn Energy Bars

Jayne Rodgers — Tue, 04 Aug 2015 19:33:54 +0000

Yes, you heard that right! These are some of the yummiest hits of vegan foody madness that you’re ever likely to lay hands on. Popcorn is having a big moment these days, as I’m sure you’ve noticed. It’s positively trendy and there are dozens of gourmet (really?) flavours in the shops right now. No one has...

Maple and Pecan Protein Balls

Jayne Rodgers — Thu, 07 May 2015 07:05:41 +0000

If you train hard you need protein to repair your muscles, right? If you’ve trained really hard, you probably want that protein to taste a little bit special. Delicious is a word often over-used by food bloggers, ourselves included, but really, these Maple and Pecan Protein Balls are the bees knees. (Question: do bees even have...

Vegan Festive Energy Balls

Jayne Rodgers — Wed, 10 Dec 2014 07:00:17 +0000

Photo: Zsolt Sandor / MothershipUK We all need extra energy in the lead up to Christmas. Even if you don’t celebrate it, the world seems to go MAD at this time of year. It all gets a bit fizzy and busy and, if you’re not careful, rather overwhelming. Don’t worry though, we have a two-part...

Vegan Rosewater and Pistachio Cake

Jayne Rodgers — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 15:15:17 +0000

We believe our greatest gift to humankind is our invention of the post-marathon recovery cake. No doubt our OBEs are in the post. This Vegan Rosewater and Pistachio recovery cake, created for our recent Yorkshire Marathon efforts, was so good we ate it all before I had chance to take any photos on the day. Still, at least that...

Vegan Gingerbread-Spiced Protein Granola Bars

Bibi Rodgers — Thu, 11 Sep 2014 17:52:04 +0000

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a woman, upon finishing a half-marathon, will be in want of ALL THE FOOD. I created these protein filled bars to save my life after the Great North Run. They’re based on a recipe from the really wonderful Oh She Glows, who does incredibly beautiful vegan recipes. Her...

Chocolate Chia Seed Protein Balls

Jayne Rodgers — Thu, 21 Aug 2014 06:55:46 +0000

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… No, no, not Christmas – it’s marathon training time. Yippee! Well, not always maybe. There are a lot of miles to cover and sometimes it seems like not enough legs to run them on. That said, every cloud has a silver lining and these Chocolate Chia Seed...

Chocolate Pretzel Energy Bars

Bibi Rodgers — Fri, 27 Jun 2014 14:34:48 +0000

After a big race, I’m always starving, and desperately crave two things – salt and protein. This can lead to some of my most pleasing food inventions. After the Pocklington 10 miler, I demolished Harissa Hummus and beetroot crisp sandwiches in my chia seed pittas. After a training run last week, I went weak at the...

Pineapple, Lemongrass and Ginger Recovery Lollies

Bibi Rodgers — Wed, 11 Jun 2014 18:39:18 +0000

A negative split is running the second half of your run faster than the first half. As you’ll remember from my tricky marathon, I am totally rubbish at them. Until now. Knowing that these lollies are in the freezer waiting for me gives me a fantastic impetus to pick up my feet and push on a...
